WHITE IS RIGHT, THIS HOLI

MUGHAL CHARM

Holi bashes are only getting bigger, better and fancier with each passing year. So, don’t hesitate to look all dressy for one! Men can pick a mulmul angrakha with zardozi work, like this one from Anamika Khanna. The outfit can be teamed with matching churidars or flared pants, depending on your mood.

MODERN DESIGN MEETS TRADITIONA­L FLOW

Get inspired by Anamika Khanna’s black and white saree look, as seen on entreprene­ur Navya Naveli Nanda. Pair it with a halter neck blouse, which can also be sheer. Keep it minimal with a no-makeup makeup look and natural, wavy hair.

CHIC IN CROCHET

While nothing can steal the thunder of a crisp white kurtapyjam­a set, men can opt for a mulmul shirt with crochet work, like this one from designer Naushad Ali. Pair it with white linen pants or emulate the model’s look in the picture with black trousers.

DRAMA WITH FLARE

Pair your white flared frock with a long line cape, like this one from designer Amita Gupta. Exude Bohemian vibes by rounding off the look with boots. While you play with colours, the flare of the cape will add to your style and keep it breezy and comfy.

GILET GRACE

A white jumpsuit can be a stylish yet comfortabl­e option. Take inspiratio­n from Tarun Tahiliani’s creation, where the model is seen wearing a fluted body jumpsuit that has been amped up with a Parsi gara work-embroidere­d gilet. The fuss-free look is certainly going to make you steal the spotlight at any Holi bash.

There’s nothing quite as striking as a splash of colour on a white outfit, making it the preferred hue for Holi outfits. Take cues from these designer ensembles to look like a vision in white when you step out to celebrate

EMBROIDERE­D ELEGANCE

For a blend of soft femininity and defined ethnic style, pair a white cotton shirt that has subtle embroidery on the sleeves, like this one from designer Ritu Kumar. Clinch at the waist with a maximalist belt tied over a solid-coloured corset. Match it with white bottoms to keep the look seamless and in tune with the concept of being a canvas for the Holi colour play.
